Affordable housing is for all, there's no quota for political parties, Dewan Rakyat told


KUALA LUMPUR: There is no policy requiring a percentage of low-cost housing to be reserved for political parties to distribute as rewards to loyal members, says Deputy Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ismail Abdul Muttalib.

The government practises equitable distribution of affordable housing, he said, with units only distributed to qualified applicants from the B40 and M40 income brackets without taking their political affiliation into account.
